BlackAss from Black and White Games writes: It seems now a days the main source of news is through big broadcasting networks such as CNN, Fox News, & MSNBC just to name a few. The problem isn't the news they report, but how they report it & spin it to fit their propaganda & slanderous agenda. I'm tired of the media & society in general blaming video games for people who are unfit to live in our society. Every time there is an unfortunate victim of violence & the perpetrator happened to play a video game or games right away it's the video games that influenced that person to commit such heinous & unthinkable acts.
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
i completely agree and first
couldn't of said it better I don't think till our generation reaches it's 40's will the media potray video games in a positive light as the magority of older people have no idea about gaming the fox mass effect debacle being a perfect example.
Fox News is so one-sided its not even funny. That network is run by conservatives who are stuck & in love with the "good ol' days". The problem is some people who watch the news think whatever they report is true & won't bother trying to research the subject to get the facts. Most people are content with the half-assed truths they report & only the educated are the ones that get the whole story instead settling for that one-side to every story mentality they have!
Yes people are motivated to do violent acts after seeing them in videogames. If that's the stance CNN and Fox are going to take then they should take a look at their programming. CNN has war footage all the time playing showing explosions and gunfights whereas Fox has numerous tv shows with violence such as 24. If videogames are a problem then they should blame their own media as well.
What did they find to blame when videogames didn't exist? Surely not what really caused the incidents, because that would just be silly.
Surely they blamed the hippies.
